Pros

Great Product, CEO and the new VP of Americas Sales

Cons

Commvault is struggling to reinvent itself, it's difficult to compete with the newer DP products. Poor corporate and field marketing with limited budget and resources. 3 layoffs/restructurings in 2019, 2 in 2018 and 1 in 2017, 3 VP of Americas Sales in 9 months, morale is low, hard to backfill positions (compensation is below industry standard) and good knowledgable people leaving. Not enough field sales (less than half of what we had in 2016), partner managers or alliance resources. 1 to 5 ratio of sales engineer to account manager is too thin for new logo acquisition, territory expansion and existing customer management. Partner strategy is unsuccesful due to execution of a substandard plan and lack of resources. Alliance strategy is non-existent and the team is understaffed and cannot get the attention they need from HPE, NetApp, HDS or Cisco. This leads to continually missing in Q1, Q2 and I expect in Q3 as well.

Thanks for your feedback. In many ways, 2019 was a transitional year for us, but I believe that Commvault is making all the right moves – particularly around our field and partner enablement and execution. And, our past two quarters demonstrate that. If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to reach out to me directly. Riccardo Di Blasio – Chief Revenue Officer
